AndrewD's post captures a memorable evening at IGOTT2, focusing on the communal spirit and the iconic 'mega-table-shot' that has become a hallmark of PuristSPro gatherings. This report not only documents a specific event but also illustrates the unique camaraderie among collectors, where high-value timepieces are freely shared and appreciated. It offers a glimpse into the social fabric of the WatchProSite community, emphasizing the shared passion that transcends online interactions.
For the final evening dinner (Wednesday June 1) we jumped aboard a bus to be taken down the street to the Venetian Hotel for an Asian-inspired dinner at TAO Restaurant, sponsored by Montblanc.
After stuffing ourselves with food, the traditional table shot occurred, although the coloured lighting made things difficult.
Actually the table shot started with some Peter Speake-Marin collectors wanting to get a group photo of their watches, and it literally exploded from there, as you will see from the video …
gosh--each watch a highlight!
Best bit was that I left with the same 2 watches I came in with -- although there were a few I wouldn't have minded swapping for! Thanks for this whole series of reports, Andrew -- it was great to meet you, and I appreciate that you have been so diligent in cataloging this wonderful event. All the best, Gary
... that was exhibited throughout IGOTT. People freely handed over watches to 'friends' they had only known on-line. It was heart warming to see. Great to have a few minutes to talk to you as well, Gary. Already looking forward to IGOTT3! Andrew
I always have a smile on my face when I think about what we lived, there. That was pure friendship... And madness. Best, Nicolas.
cheers PAt
.... you can clearly hear Vlad being very cheerfull .... . I bet everyone wanted to take that table back home. Filip
